Rough Stuff at the DSEi Arms Fair
Please support pacifist Gwyn Gwyntopher:
Pacifist Gwyn Gwyntopher, (66) was standing at Custom House DLR, by the Excel Centre, where the DSEi arms fair was going on, about 1.30pm Thursday 13/9/07. Her back was visible to arms traders waiting to go and sell more means of killing people. The poster on her back said. "Remember the victims of the arms trade." She was arrested by Transport Police and handcuffed. She was then dragged along the ground to the lift. In considerable pain she appealed to the police to take the handcuffs off. They declined. When her husband Chris Gwyntopher came up the stairs to find out what had happened to her she appealed to him to get the police to remove the handcuffs. He tried to persuade the officers to do so, pointing out that she would not harm anybody and would not seek to run away. They refused and pulled him away from her.
She was charged with trespassing on DLR station and refusing to leave. She had her freedom pass on her and was ready to leave, in the direction of the Excel She was offered bail on the condition she did not go on the Docklands Light Railway until her court appearance. She refused to accept this condition. She was transferred to Forest Gate
Police Station and held overnight to appear before Stratford Magistrates on
Friday 14/9/07.

At about nearly midday Friday, the Magistrate heard her plea of not guilty. She was bailed to appear for trial on Monday November 5th at 9.30 am with a pre-trial review the afternoon of Thursday 4th Otober at the Magistrates Court, 389-397 High Street, Stratford E15. Supporters welcome The bail conditions were that she not go on DLR land or the Excel Centre until midday Saturday 15th September. She was not required to accept or sign to keep the conditions which would have prevented her communicating with the arms traders.
Chris Gwyntopher 07739906710 15/9/07 "

The police ignore the illegal actions of the arms dealers and prefer to do this to a pensioner.

'It's ironic that up to 4000 police officers will be deployed at DSEi, when that time could be better spent tackling gun crime rather than guarding gun runners'
-Symon Hill of CAAT quopted in the local newspaper, 'The Docklands'
